A driver has been arrested for going 143 km/h on a road limited to 50 km/h. The events occurred in Murcia, a speeding of almost three times what is allowed. Speeding tickets are relatively common, so they are not news. But, on occasions, we receive information about speeds well above what is set on the road, which automatically become news. As has happened in this case.
This driver has been arrested for going 143 km/h on a road limited to 50 km/h in Murcia. Although, we have to go to the national highway N-301, which connects Madrid with Cartagena. Specifically, at the height of the municipality of Cieza, this speed has been recorded through the intervention of the Traffic Sector of the Civil Guard. These agents were carrying out a static speed control when they registered the 143 km/h of the main driver.
The members of the Civil Guard registered a red Seat Leon circulating no less than 93 km/h above the established limit. At the wheel was a 19-year-old man and four friends. According to the reports to which we have had access, they were traveling from Blanca to Cieza for leisure purposes. The agents began to chase the vehicle until they hunted it down in the town of Cieza.
Once the driver was identified, an investigation was opened. The driver was placed at the disposal of the Investigating Court number 3 of Cieza, awaiting trial. He is facing a crime against road safety for driving a motor vehicle at a speed 80 km/h higher than that allowed on interurban roads. And it is that this action is typified as a crime for having exceeded, as we say, in 80 km/h the allowed speed.
What is this driver up against? The crime is listed in article 379 of the Penal Code, and the punishment will be carried out in various ways. One of the possible punishments is imprisonment from three to six months. Without a doubt, it would be the most severe punishment, since we also find the fine of six to 12 months. Likewise, you can face jobs for the benefit of the community from 31 to 90 days
